When pushing it to 12 bar, I am NOT exceeding any limits. Well okay, one, the 8 bar limit. But that is not a safety limit. Its a limit to increase lifetime and reliability of the machine because any higher then 8 bar is not needed.
Technically the thing should be able to handle 12 bar just fine.

Any engineer worth a damn will know that when a product is rated up to 12 bar, the product can handle 12 bar without any problems, and has been tested to do so.
The rating has a safety margin and it should not fail under the rating under normal use, as this is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
